I don't know how Christmas is right around the corner, but time is simply going by too fast. Cliche? Yes, but it's reality. Work shows no signs of slowing down and neither does Kathryn. So when a rare night approached that we would all be home together, we scheduled our second annual outing to see the lights and visit Santa.

Fake snow: check

Hayride: check﻿

Millions of lights: check﻿

Actual Christmas-y weather that allowed it be acceptable to drink hot chocolate: check

And of course, Santa: check﻿

﻿Although K insisted she didn't want to sit on Santa's lap leading up to the this picture (and even suggested that she sit in my lap and Santa could take our picture) she did surprisingly well after a brief moment of being nervous. I was so impressed!

Texans love Christmas. Texans also love Texas.

This picture makes me ridiculously happy.

I just need to accept that Christmas is going to be here before we know it. Despite the hustle of the holiday season, we'll be trying to keep the next 10 days just as magical.
